Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Cold War Bomber: Deterrence, Range, and the Aircraft Built for Nuclear Strategy is a clear, fact-based history of the aircraft that carried the weight of nuclear strategy through the most dangerous decades of the twentieth century.…From the enormous B-36 and the jet-age B-47 to the enduring B-52, Britain's V-bombers, the Soviet Tu-95 Bear, the Tu-22M Backfire, the Tu-160 Blackjack, the B-1 Lancer, and the stealthy B-2 Spirit, this book explains how strategic bombers became more than aircraft. They were weapons, warnings, political signals, engineering achievements, and instruments of deterrence. Written in plain English for general readers, aviation enthusiasts, military-history readers, and students of the Cold War, this book explores long-range bomber power: aerial refuelling, nuclear alert, air defence, surface-to-air missiles, radar, low-level penetration, cruise missiles, stealth, command systems, bomber bases, tanker crews, maintenance teams, accidents, protest movements, arms-control debates, and the moral reality of preparing for wars everyone hoped would never happen. The book compares American, British, and Soviet bomber philosophies. It explains why bombers remained important after ballistic missiles and nuclear submarines changed deterrence, why some aircraft adapted while others disappeared, and why machines built for nuclear strategy later found roles in conventional war. Above all, it tells the story of aircraft designed for distance, fear, restraint, and the uneasy balance that defined the Cold War sky. Disclaimer This is an independent, unofficial historical work.
